My SRi project

[vxrcopey]

Hey guys.. Thought I would start a wee project thread on here.

Been a member on here for a while looking for a good example nova and eventually found one on here.

It is a Breeze Blue SRi with original engine.

So after getting my old man to have a wee peak at it's he was working in Bristol.. I flew down to London and collected. After a brief chat and usual business I got back on the road towards Glasgow.

I have drove the M6 many times in many different cars but I don't think any have been as much fun as the wee Nova :)! She drove the whole way home without missing a beat!! Only had to stop to fill her back up with juice.

anyways not bore yous too much. Here's a few pictures of the car and what I have done so far.

Heres a few pictures.

just got it home.

Good work finding a original air box mate
Rare item to find those.
Looks like you need a timing belt cover
